A juicy, pulpy and well-made red made of 25% grenache, 25% syrah, 25% carignan and 25% mourvedre. The nose shows notes of dark cherries, warm spices, smoke and dried herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with fine tannins. Structured and balanced, with a juicy core of dark cherries and a lift of spices bringing vitality toward the vivid finish. Drink or hold.
90 Matt Walls - Decanter
Fresh and brambly with some bay leaf notes. Juicy, rounded, fruity with juicy tannins. The acidity is quite low, but it has a feeling of herbal freshness. Feels refreshingly low in alcohol. A quarter each of Carignan, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Likely to offer good value.
